Chapter 167: Rubber! Rubber!

Affected by the beast tide just now, the people in the tribe were panicked, especially when they heard the earth-shattering thunder, which made them dare not leave the tribe easily.

After observing for a while, there were about three or four hundred people in this tribe, both old and weak, young and strong, and when a child fell to the ground with something similar to a jujube core in his hand and bounced up, he was seen by the sharp-eyed Lu Jiutong: "Rubber? ”

"Where?" Li Fayuan listened to his uncertain cry, and his heart was overjoyed, it would be great if rubber could be found here, so that everyone could complete the task and return to the ship ahead of schedule.

"There, it's the one holding a date kernel-shaped thing in his hand."

Under his guidance, Li Fayuan also saw it, so he immediately commanded the army to surround this tribe, and the people in the tribe suddenly saw a group of people in bright armor surrounding themselves, and immediately became in chaos, and Qingzhuang immediately took out a simple bow and arrow and a spear made of stone and bone and killed.

With a wave of Li Fayuan's long sword, locust-like arrows immediately covered the tribe, and Qingzhuang fell into a large area. Before coming, Gao Buji explained that if the primitive tribesmen here do not cooperate, they must be suppressed strongly, and they cannot be soft-hearted, and if they are yin by the cannibals, they will suffer heavy losses.

In fact, there is no need for Gao Fuji to explain this, Li Fayuan, as a royal family member of the war, naturally knows how to protect himself outside, no matter who it is, the prime minister must use force to subdue him, so that there will be no big chaos in the later things.

The people of the tribe saw that they were shot by the other side in a wave, and lost more than half of the people, they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, and the army surrounded the village, drove everyone out of the room, and pulled the child with the rubber ball, Li Fayuan asked: "What did you do with this ball?" Where is this tree? ”

Li Fayuan blushed and asked for a long time, and the people in the tribe looked at him in horror, unable to understand the language, for fear of offending this god-like figure and bringing ruin to the tribe.

In the end, Lu Jiutong walked up, holding a piece of animal skin in his hand, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, we didn't want to slaughter your village, it was a misunderstanding just now, you fired arrows at us first, now let's sit down and talk." With that, he sat down not far from the crowd and waved them to sit down.

Although I didn't understand what he meant by what he said before, I still understood the gesture of letting him sit, and the tribesmen slowly sat down on the ground in surprise.

As soon as Li Fayuan saw that it was effective, he asked the sergeant to put away his weapon and guard the surroundings, and he also sat down next to Lu Jiutong: "I didn't find that your kid is quite capable." ”

"I learned this last time in Luzon."

Li Fayuan patted him on the shoulder, told him to continue, and quickly asked where the rubber tree was.

Lu Jiutong took the fur in his hand, made a simple leather skirt, and wore it on his body, pointing to the leather skirt on his body, then pointing to the leather skirt on the Indian, and then pointing to the leather ball in his hand. It means that the leather skirts on our bodies are all made of fur, what is this ball made of?

At this time, someone in the crowd immediately understood, and the last oldest, who seemed to be the patriarch's old man, came over, picked up the rubber ball, pointed to the ball and talked to Lu Jiutong for a while, Lu Jiutong didn't know what he meant, just nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, that's what it means, are you willing to take me to find this kind of tree?" ”

Li Fayuan gave Lu Jiutong a thumbs up, this can be communicated, this guy is really a talent. Lu Jiutong secretly agreed, anyway, everyone didn't know what they meant by each other, as long as they could find the rubber tree.

In the end, the patriarch waved his hand and led the way in front of his head, and Lu Jiutong was overjoyed: "My lord, they are going to take us to find a rubber tree." ”

Li Fayuan asked the captain to lead the team to stay here, and he and Lu Jiutong followed behind the patriarch with dozens of guards, they thought they were going to go far there, who knew that there was a large rubber tree outside the tribe.

Lu Jiutong walked to a smaller rubber tree, and saw that the leaves and tree shape were the same as Gao Buji's words, so he took out a dagger from his boots and cut it on the tree, and after a while, milky white liquid flowed out, Lu Jiutong said excitedly to Li Fayuan: "My lord, this is the rubber tree, we finally found it." ”

When the soldiers heard this, they cheered loudly, and after many difficulties, they finally found the rubber tree, Li Fayuan immediately mobilized the old and weak women and children of the tribe to start cutting rubber, and the young and strong went to build a road, this tribe is more than ten miles away from the place of the big ship, and he is ready to build a road, because to bring the live rubber trees back, the rubber trees must be planted in the vat, and if there is no road, it is very difficult to transport.

Under the leadership of the tribal patriarch, Li Fayuan wiped out several nearby tribes, and the captives also came to build roads and cut rubber. Looking at the rubber trees in front of him, Li Fayuan scolded the heavens for being unfair, the rubber trees here are everywhere, but there is a single tree in the vast land of Mao Datang, and he has to travel thousands of miles across the sea to find it.

In order to let these captives work with peace of mind, he sent troops out to fight back a lot of wild beasts as food, and when the food was sufficient, a group of captives had no other ideas, and they were full of enthusiasm to do their work, because there were many people, and the work was indeed not heavy. Li Fayuan didn't scold them, and found someone to teach these tribes Tang dialect, and after a month, more people in the tribe could speak Tang dialect, and communication with each other was smooth.
